The game came out in 2018, I think a reasonable amount of time has passed to not have to worry about spoiling things. I guess I could’ve just said that rather than make a rude/sarcastic comment, sorry about that
I haven't really been super interested in watching the HP films, but my children might eventually be and maybe I'll watch the movies with them some day in the future? For this reason, I've taken care at least to not know who kills him. This came kind of out of the blue here.
The good news is, this isn't much of a spoiler. The game shows this part coming from miles away. You learn about the disease probably like 3/4ths through the game. It's part of the ending, but it isn't what makes the story good.
Me too. I have a wife and kids, and a 50 hour a week job. Been plugging away sporadically for a year. It's not the spoiler that bothers me, it's the "it's a blah blah year old game why haven't you finished it yet etc etc"
I've played it, but yeah, 7 years isn't that long. If it were like 20 then yeah, people probably have already played it or weren't going to —though still, there will be some new people, either younger people or curious people, so not an excuse to spoil it. 7 is still recent enough that people are still going to be new to the game.
Not only that, but to reach this point in the post, you would’ve read the meme that heavily implies something bad happens. If that didn’t deter you from continuing, you read the above comment that was asking for someone to further explain the meme.
If you still needed a spoiler tag after all that then what are we doing here people
I don't have the money to buy everything when it comes out, let alone the time. I caught rdr2 on sale and have been plugging away. It's not the spoilers, it's smug people like you.
I love the hive mind coming out of the wood work to downvote comments just because someone else has. I've noticed that often here. It was especially bad on Reddit. They see a zero or a negative one and have to put their unreasoned stamp on it too.
I bought the game a couple months ago and have put maybe 6 hrs into it so far so yeah, having someone spoil a part of the plot just because the game has been out for a while is fucking shitty.
Thanks for the massive up votes, as well. Been plugging away on my free time. One of the most story-driven games of the decade. Thanks guys. I knew he died at the end, but not the cause.
Do you think that no one can talk about a thing they like just because you've been too lazy to interact with it? The world doesn't stop for you. Out of consideration, spoilers will be avoided. Not indefinitely though.
I get that, but sometimes the "spoiler" is what's discussed. Or worse, we don't realize that it's a spoiler, because you didn't watch some related media that revealed it.
Dude, I wasn't talking about me. It is possible to think about things that affect other people rather than yourself, and to want other people to enjoy things as much as you did, but it seems you wouldn't know much about that.
I've seen people get butthurt over spoilers from NES games. To me, that feels unreasonable.
There needs to be a point where we stop agonizing over spoiling content that is 30, 40 years old. Even if you never had a chance to play it, it's 30 or 40 years old. I don't know where that cutoff point needs to be. I'm just saying there needs to be one. And if you're going to be upset over spoilers, over content that that's that old, then maybe you need to be careful about what you're reading.
Because sometimes it isn't always clear what will be a spoiler. >!And I think spoilering everything would be silly and not helpful at all. Especially considering that different Lemmy clients do spoilers differently sometimes!<
:: spoiler Tap for spoiler He dies from tuberculosis contracted earlier in the game. :::
Maybe some spoiler markup would be cool.
Bro you are reading a post asking about what happens in the game. Of course it's a spoiler.
I thought it was some kind of game mechanic or something else that they didn't understand. I didn't think it would be this spoiled. 🤷♂️
Darth Vader is Luke’s father
oh and Snape kills Dumbledore
😐 What are we doing here right now, friend?

But now I know. Thanks?
To be fair, you find out about half way into the game.
So it's literally a pivotal plot point
Haven't played it yet though.
::: spoiler Spoiler Not hard to do. Supported by most clients. :::
Can't believe how many people are defending this obvious misuse of the spoiler tag lmao
I was about to play that game your spoiler warning doesn't work if you can see the text while reading the warning
I finally get a computer that can run it and I get the ending spoiled immediately, thanks god

Goddamn it dude. Not everyone has played the thing. This is just bad form.
Lmfao it's been almost 7 years

Spoiler rules remain valid for 1 generation
When's PC 2 out?
When Team Fortress 2 Episode 1 releases
A couple years back when I switched to Linux
I don't have the money to buy everything when it comes out, let alone the time. I caught rdr2 on sale and have been plugging away. It's not the spoilers, it's smug people like you.
Who said I bought it? Where there's a will there's a way, man. You do you.
Thanks man, I feel better
Bad form indeed. Ruined it for me.
Me too. Smug pricks, some people actually touch grass.

I just down voted you after someone. Must be the hive mind.
I knew it!
You can make a proper spoiler message this way:
::: spoiler Some text here, whatever. Click here.
The actual spoiler content here
It won't be visible until you click the spoiler thing open.
:::
And this is what it will look like:
::: spoiler Some text here, whatever. Click here.
The actual spoiler content here
It won't be visible until you click the spoiler thing open.
:::
Could you be so kind and edit your message, making the spoiler look that way?
Done
Thank you for being awesome! ❤️
Mistakes happen. The important thing is to learn from them, and you clearly know how to do that. Cool!
Thanks for the massive up votes, as well. Been plugging away on my free time. One of the most story-driven games of the decade. Thanks guys. I knew he died at the end, but not the cause.
(Spoilers)
Yep a very classic one of the time you may click in the link at the risk of spoilers.
Further less serious spoilers
::: spoiler Tap for spoiler Micah can kill you in one of the endings? I knew I should have shot that piece of shit. :::
A cough in a movie means the character is going to die, always.
And if a woman throws up in the morning, she's 100% pregnant.^1^
^1^ Unless the vomit comes directly after a scene of heavy drinking.
The two things aren't mutually exclusive (even though they should be)
50% chance she is drinking for 2
Millions of diseases and every movie is coughs blood
And if a character of childbearing age and physique is nauseous, they're pregnant.
chekovs cough
If you don't know by now, that's on you. Should we also not spoil the Bible? Jesus dies halfway through.
You little shit I was getting to that chapter. What's the point of reading it anymore. Thanks a lot!
Don't worry he gets better.
JFC.
No, Jesus doesn't fuck Christ, you'd know if you read the book
Does he die on camera though?
He does in at least one of the movies adapted from the book.
It's funny all the comments say "spoilers (the spoiler)" but none just say what the game is so i can find out for myself
Red Dead Redemption 2. At least I'm assuming it's the second one. I've never played either.
It is.
Had it spoiled for me by reading the trivia section of a wiki page.
Oh no, no no no NOT AGAIN
People who defend spoilers are garbage. The passage of time does not permit you to be a complete piece of shit.
So, no one is allowed to talk about any piece of media ever on the off chance you might eventually get around to watching/reading/listening to it?
Okay buddy.
No, but there does need to be a reasonable time limit on when it is reasonable to not have to worry about spoiling something...
Why? Do you think new people will never play this? They don't deserve to enjoy plot turns because they're younger than you?
Do you think that no one can talk about a thing they like just because you've been too lazy to interact with it? The world doesn't stop for you. Out of consideration, spoilers will be avoided. Not indefinitely though.
I don't think anyone said they couldn't talk about it.
It's just common courtesy to try to not spoil things for others. It's really not a difficult thing to aspire to.
I get that, but sometimes the "spoiler" is what's discussed. Or worse, we don't realize that it's a spoiler, because you didn't watch some related media that revealed it.
Lazy? Smug prick

Dunno. The ::: spoiler -tag does exist and is not difficult to use at all. Why not use it?
Because sometimes it isn't always clear what will be a spoiler. >!And I think spoilering everything would be silly and not helpful at all. Especially considering that different Lemmy clients do spoilers differently sometimes!<
There doesn't need to be a cutoff, you just go with ordinary politeness and put it behind a spoiler tag. It's not even hard, it's just polite.
What price politeness? Less agro than calling someone butthurt or lazy just for suggesting you don't spoil a fun experience.
There are very old films that I would advise against spoiling.
There's a reason it's called spoiler. It spoils the experience for other people. There's no need.
Be more thoughtful and less self centred.
"Agro"? I'm not the one upset over words on the internet...
Spoiler Alert!
